Psalms 8:3–4

¹IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

⁶By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

¹⁹He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

²The works of the Lord are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.

¹¹The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

²⁰For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

¹⁹Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.

²⁰But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

¹⁹And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

¹²Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

⁷To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:

⁸The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:

⁹The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.

¹⁸¶ And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

¹⁶And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

¹⁷And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

¹⁸And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

³Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

⁵Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

¹THE heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

²⁴Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.

³Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.

¹⁷What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

³Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him! or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!

⁶But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?

⁷Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

⁸Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

⁹But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

³Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

⁶⁸Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

¹⁸But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

¹AND the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken.

¹²I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;

⁶How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

²⁰And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

⁴Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

¹⁷Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.

³¹And the people believed: and when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

²O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

⁴⁴And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

¹⁷All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

¹²Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

¹⁵¶ Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
